When asked why he chose "The Moon and Sixpence" as the title for his novel about the life of a fictional artist based on real life artist Paul Gauguin, W. Somerset Maugham explained that the title was a reference to individuals who, while reaching for the moon, miss the sixpence at their feet.
This photo journal is about finding and capturing that sixpence.

Beanie's Ears

I'm trying some photo editing using Picnik. Interesting. It does make a difference, sharpening, saturating, taking what I see and enhancing it. My cat Peño (Beanie) doesn't often sit still enough for photos unless she's sleeping, so this is as much of a "head shot" as I could get. Nice ears.

About Me

I've always loved photography and have just begun taking my own pictures. My camera lens provides another window (besides the printed page) through which I interpret the world around me. What you find here is a mosaic of the various things, people, and places that have captured my attention at any given moment. If it seems like my work is all over the map it's because I'm exploring everything, seeing everything, shooting everything.
